Suggestion

You also might try getting some info on a good a/c shop to check the system out to make sure the drag from the a/c isn't from low on oil in there so the long trip might make it screwier.

Suggestion · Original poster

the seller claims after the car's a/c is running for about 30 minutes, when he turns the front wheels, there is sometimes a squeeling noise....i know this seems odd considering i can't imagine any relationship between the a/c and the suspension but anyone have any ideas?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

all...i previously posted a purchase question and was wondering if anyone is familiar with any front wheel bearing issues with the 1999 996 coupe. the seller claims after the car's a/c is running for about 30 minutes, when he turns the front wheels, there is sometimes a squeeling noise....i know this seems odd considering i can't imagine any relationship between the a/c and the suspension but anyone have any ideas?

POST 2Original post

I had my driver's side front wheel bearing replaced soon after I bought my 99 Porsche. Just under 40k miles at the time, no issues since.

POST 4Original post

+1 for belt ??Possible slipping belt causing slight "judder/ squeal" felt in power steering??

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i appreciate everyones insight on this issue...i am looking forward to becoming part of the "water cooled group" for the 1st time. planning to fly down to SF saturday and if all goes well driving home to seattle monday or tuesday. i'll post an update next week.

POST 7Original post

Tough choices on route. I-5 is OK all the way but not much for scenic like the coast hwy. Best of fun making it an enjoyable journey. Probably not much of a chance to enjoy right away the luxury a/c of the car. You also might try getting some info on a good a/c shop to check the system out to make sure the drag from the a/c isn't from low on oil in there so the long trip might make it screwier. Just a thought. Have a good one. Not everybody gets to have their first drive in the car for such a healthy distance. Enjoy!
